Abstract


Basically, conventional Incremental Conductance (IC) is susceptible to oscillation in the vicinity of maximum power point (MPP) area. This condition is due to the use of fixed step size method. Regarding this issues, this paper proposes a techniques based on scaling factor to ameliorate the performance of the conventional incremental conductance (IC) technique by utilizing variable step size concept. The proposed method is tested and implemented successfully on photovoltaic (PV) system which is integrated with DC-DC Boost Converter. Subsequently, to verify the proposed method, a comparative study between the conventional IC and the proposed system is provided. The proposed method demonstrates that oscillation around maximum power point (MPP) area can be mitigated, although solar irradiance changes abruptly.
